The Triple Team: Conley and Bogdanovic miss every shot, what went wrong? Jazz defense a work in progress... and are they calling travels in the NBA?

It was not an auspicious start for Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic in their first action in a Jazz uniform against an NBA team: neither of them made a shot. Conley went 0-6 from the field, while Bogdanovic shot 0-8. Neither player played during the second half.

It is just preseason, bad shooting nights shouldn’t worry you. But they can reveal where Bogey and Conley are in terms of their acclimation process with the Jazz, and how they’re feeling right now.

Here are their shot charts from Wednesday night, with Conley on the left and Bogdanovic on the right:

You’ll notice that neither Conley or Bogdanovic ever got the easy look directly at the rim; even the four layup attempts they had were tough ones.
